🌾 #ThrowbackThursday 🌾 Did you know that St. Rita used to have farmland right across the street from the school? It’s a piece of our history that might surprise you!
Take a look at some old photos from that time. There’s always something new to learn about our past!

In today's Biology class, high school students learned how to extract chlorophyll from leaves! 🍃🍂 They picked green leaves before they change color and fall, then smashed them in a mortar. After that, alcohol was added with a filter paper strip, and the chlorophyll was absorbed. A great hands-on learning activity! 🌿
